THE SOURCE: FROM THE SHOP FLOOR TO THE KINGDOM
The Origin Story
Find My Sneakers didn’t start in an office; it started on the retail floor. Our founder began as a Store Manager at Sportscene, witnessing firsthand the chaos and passion of South African drop days. Starting in 2022, the mission was simple: give more to the people. From the aisles of Tyger Valley Centre to the heart of Mitchells Plain Promenade (The Plein), we saw the need for a dedicated voice that put the community first.
The Evolution
Before we became the authority we are today, we grew through the trenches of TikTok. Originally known as DripDrip, then Sneaker Junkie, we evolved through several chapters before officially crowning our identity as Find My Sneakers. We’ve grown from a local retail perspective into a national powerhouse, now operating as a flagship part of the FM Digital Solutions Network.
Powered by the People
Our stats don’t lie, and our roots are deep. While we cover the entire South African landscape, our heartbeat is in Cape Town. Based on our TikTok data, our strongest and most loyal community hails from Mitchells Plain. We take pride in representing the streets that built us, growing a following of over 80,000+ verified sneakerheadswho rely on us for the official Lowdown.
The Mission
We are the Capital of High Heat. We provide the strategic intel you need—local release dates, retail pricing, and direct access to the Release Hub. We’ve gone from managing the store to managing the culture.
